As part of the Electrical Apprenticeship Training Programme, learners will complete Phase 2 of their training programme in Monaghan Institute. This Phase of training includes installation, commissioning, testing and maintenance of various wiring systems and services in domestic, comercial and industrial applications.

When choosing a career as an electrician it opens a range of career and specialty paths from being self-employed or working as part of a larger business. In the electrical industry many electricians choose a specialty that they focus on whether it is building and construction, green energy/solar, automation, manufacturing, mining, energy or water supply industries.

This apprenticeship consists of four on-the-job phases with an approved employer and three off-the-job phases in an educational organisation. Apprentices will be invited to attend their off-the-job training phases in accordance with the SOLAS scheduling system.
